Details that can change your plans
Confirm the maximum visa-free stay
Vanuatu Immigration lists this passport nationality as not requiring a visitor visa, but its exemption list does not give a maximum visa-free stay. The Department separately describes a tourist visa of up to 120 days for eligible exempt-country travelers; the official pages do not clearly say whether that is the visa-free stay limit for this passport. Confirm the permitted length directly with Vanuatu Immigration before planning a longer visit.
